Is it Love?: Carter Corp./Ryan Carter

Ryan can be described in the game as a calm and collected person due to his role as the head of the company and he calmly informs the player about her work as seen in Matt's story. But in reality, he appears as a submissive and a dominant person. His behavior was demonstrated when he was strangely became closer towards the player while they were trapped inside the elevator and remains black out especially when he became intimate towards the player.

Ryan is similar to Christian Grey from the complete romantic erotic novel, The Fifty Shades Trilogy in terms of personality and both men also serves as the youngest head of their business company. The only differences between them are their age as he appears one year older than Christian.

Interestingly, Ryan's first secret scene imitates the elevator scene of Fifty Shades of Grey where Christian makes out with Ana for the first time. In Ryan's case he strangely makes out the player during black out while they were trapped inside the elevator which it was seen in his illustration in his first secret scene.

During both of his intimate scenes with the player in two of his secret scenes, he references the first intimate scene between Christian and Ana.

When he proposes the player as his girlfriend referencing the ending of Fifty Shades Darker where Christian proposes Ana as his wife.

Ryan's love rival, Jake bears a resemblance to Jack Hyde the antagonist of The Fifty Shades Trilogy as they are referencing which the player will choose either of them. The only difference is their personality which Jack appears as vengeful and obsessive while Jake is religious and kind.
